It's such obvious bullshit that people can just publish a god damn clock on the eShop at £89 and then slash it to £1.80 so they can artificially boost themselves to the top of the most discounted list during any sale. I don't know how Nintendo allows this.

Saw a Miyamoto-signed Switch on eBay and looked at the description, as Miyamoto signed stuff is so rare there's always some story (if it's authentic). Turns out that in 2019 Miyamoto took a trip to Nashville and set up a private concert with a bluegrass video game cover band called Hit Points.

Really enjoying Cassandra on Netflix. A smart German sci-fi thriller with an engaging mystery at its core. Plus, it's only six episodes. Would definitely recommend and can already see it being one of the best things I watch this year.

@matpiscatella.bsky.social Hi Mat! Have been a fan/following you for a long time already & I loved your conversation with @gameovergreggy.bsky.social While I'm terrible with numbers, I love learning about the trends & business side of games. Thank you for all you do! Love from England!

This might be the single best glass design I've ever seen

I'm biased but I genuinely think Hollywood is leaving money on the table not commissioning bespoke illustrated posters. Outside of like Dune these are literally the only posters I remember from the past 5 years and I've only seen one of these

It's normal to love video games but also fucking loathe the video game industry.

Unsurprising. Suspect the Switch 2 games will be the price of PS5 and Series X games.

Big crowd at the SF Tesla dealership protesting our unelected overlord. A tiny sign hangs from an upstairs window

I don't get it, man. You make one of the most successful LIVE service titles of the generation, despite the world telling you LIVE service is dead - and still get laid off? What are we even doing at this point

One: how? Two: why? Three: what happened to facilitate this sign's placement

Me watching the Spurs game

I'm a blacksmith in a video game. I make three little clinky taps every time you give me five bronze bars to upgrade your weapon. Good day to you

Okay, but - a Chucklevision game in the style of Thank Goodness You're Here 👀👀👀

Honestly it seems hard to poach 100k eggs at once. I try to do more than 2 and it ends in a soupy sad mess

Our Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 review has been updated with our #SteamDeck recommended settings. It is definitely playable at 30 FPS and you will be able to experience it fully on the go. It's insane being able to play one of the best RPGs this way: steamdeckhq.com/game-reviews...

Metaphor Refantazio done. What a game. I can't succinctly and eloquently deliver my thoughts on why in a few mere tweets, but that story is something very special and achingly meta in 2025.

A new update for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was released that fixes the #SteamDeck graphics preset, improves stability, and more. steamdeckhq.com/final-fantas...

It's hard to express how much is going on here and what a big deal it is. We've been building toward this for over 8 years now, and we genuinely built a video game history research tool that is usable by anyone. We're democratizing game research through a free, no-bullshit, human-curated resource.

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

Niiiice time to buy

seeing American tourists laugh at 'Cockfosters' remains one of the last pure joys left in our capital. Yes, Kyle and Abbie, it is ridiculous. We agree. Thank you for noticing.

The Video Game History Foundation opens its digital archives to the public next week

Good things come to those who wait - the Video Game History Foundation Digital Library launches on January 30th, 2025. (We'll tell you all about it then!)

Yep.

Doom, Doom, Doom, Doom, I want you in my room. It's time for this week's IGN UK Podcast. megaphone.link/SBP1996748696

This is a good and accessible piece on the place of big tech in people’s lives. To me, that notion of being more deliberate about tech use will become increasingly important. A lot of what we do is habit, be that visiting Instagram or shopping on Amazon. Habits can be broken – sometimes within days.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was my Game of the Year last year, but there was so much to do that I haven't had time to go back and finish. Now it's been released on Steam and is Steam Deck verified, I can't wait to go back! Huge thanks again to Square Enix for the opportunity! #Ad

I just realized that the bad guy’s name in Tony Hawk’s Underground, Eric Sparrow, is a play on Hawk’s name.

Somehow "Elon Musk Is a Genius" and "Elon Musk Doesn't Know How Hands Work" are being said by a lot of the same people

Helpful!
